BAKING ANDHDRYING-s'rovn The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and mkng paxt of the same.

To all whom' 'it may concern Be it known that we, F. S. REEFY and S. M. ZENT, of Roanoke, in the county of Huntington, and State of Indiana, have invented anew and improved Baking and Drying-Stove; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art toA Figure 2 represents a transverse sectionv of the same. l

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents an ordinary cast-iron box-stove, over the top of which is placed a radiating-drum or chamber, B, with a space between, opening at the front, to let in air at C, and near the rear at C', on both sides.

This drurh is divided by plate, D, which causes the product of combustion to return to the front before escaping to the Hue E, shown in dotted, lines, g. ,2.

Above this heater we place a sheet-iron oven, F, lined on the sides with zinc, G, between which and the extension is a filling of wood, to prevent the loss of heat by radiation. These lined vertical sides rise from the horizontal plane ofthe top ofthe radiator.

Below them are inclined sides H, connecting them with the bottom of the stove.

In these sides, at their lower edges, are. openings I, provided with valves, which are to be opened when the oven is used for drying fruit, to let in a greater quantity of air than is required when baking.

The valves are designed Vto be so shaped as to shoot the air against the side of the stove.

A ventilator, 'K, is provided at the top, with a valve, L, for regulating the escape of heated air, and the Walls are provided with brackets M, for the snpport ofthe grates for holding the pans.

When used for baking, the opening at C admits a sui'licieut amount of air.

It will be observed that all, or very nearly all, of the heat given out by the stove is utilized by this arrangement.

Having thus described our invention,

W'hat we claim as new, and desire to secure (by Letters Patent, isv 1. The radiating-drum B, provided with the return- Hue, and arranged relatively to the stove, and with the air-openings C C', all substantially as specified.

2. The arrangement, with the stove and oven F, of the inclined sides H, when provided with the airlpassages I, and valves, substantially as speciiied.

3. The arrangement, in the side walls, between the zinc lining G and the exterior slieetnnctal, of the wood filling, substantially as specified.

F. S. REEFY.
